Year 5 Week 1 - with MP3

Gwynne,

Where have you been? It's would seem from your song
you've been getting in touch with your inner child.

Nice Job

John

Hey Gwynne,
welcome back. I like this song a lot, I like its sentiment and I like what your doing in the chorus, that illiteration works well. My only comment is that I dont think the last line of the chorus quite works, the sentiment yes, but the lyric, hmmm im not so sure.
For me, if you could work this line (or something like it)
I love you because you're you

it would be awesome (just my opinion of course)

Great song

cheers

Paul

Thanks for the warm welcome back. Because it was the start of a new year I thought this was my chance to jump back in.

I also wasn't too sure on the last line in the chorus (thought it rhymed well with fly). I'll decide on the last line when I put it to music. Great alternatives, thank you, G.

rocketgirl,

I like this piece a lot. The line, "I love you in your light" -- I kinda like it. It fits with the rest of the chorus. I'm not exactly sure what you meant by it, but it feels like one of those lines that people would internalize when they hear it. In other words, the meaning I take from it may not be the meaning you intended, but that makes it more personal to the listener. Other people will lie awake thinking "what in the world did she mean by that?". Either way, it will be one of those lines that keeps your song in their heads.

Welcome back, Gwynne....

I like this piece, it's kind of hard to explain why - Scratchmonkey mentioned it's one of those songs where the listener/reader can put their own interpretation on things, to me it's slightly vague and ambiguous, like looking at clouds - different people see different shapes - which gives it an edgy feeling, a bit mysterious....

If I was to dig deeply into the lyrics, I'd probably come up with a different interpretation to what you meant....

Like I said, difficult to explain - but looking over the song as a whole, it's well structured and got a good flow to it....be interesting to see what you come up with music-wise.....

:D :D :D

Hi

The first verse is beautiful I love it well done

What Paul suggested :

I love you because you're you

Maybe the final line after your final chorus ( just my thoughts )

Well done

cheers

Trev..

Just thought I would post the link so you could hear the melody. Obviously, still a work in progress. Gwynne.

Hi Gwynne

Good to see you back writing here.

I really like the way the song sounds - the chorus works really well as PBee pointed out. There's a good flow and a very good structure to the song. I like the way it's written as a personal study it comes across really well.

MP3 was good - puts it all into context.

Great stuff

Keep writing

Bob :wink:

Hi Gwynne

Nothing really to add to all the advice but wanted to wish you a big "welcome back" and look forward to reading more of your material this "new year" in the SSG.

Peace

Hey Gwynne,

just played the mp3, lovely job. I have to say I admire your ability to sing that song with all that was going on around you, well done.

cheers

Paul

Thanks for all of the replies.
